“Imagine that you are running a race, and you’re trying to
reach the goal and ultimately win the prize. But as hard as you try you can
never get to the finish line because there is a heavy weight tied around one of
your legs. You struggle to pull it along, but it slows you down, and makes you
be so weary and exhausted that you are tempted to give up altogether. It
doesn’t occur to you that this is something you don’t have to carry.
It has
been so much a part of you for so long that you never imagined life without it. Yet you can’t finish the race and secure the prize God has for you until you
become free of it.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember
not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am
doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
One of the great mysteries of the Lord is how He can take
the horrible, the tragic, the painful, the devastating, the embarrassing, and
the ruinous experiences and memories of our lives and not only heal them, but
use them for good.
Once you step out of the past it’s important you don’t keep
looking over your shoulder to see if it’s following you.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; old things
have passed away; behold all things have become new.
